Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
To those who have said we moved away from looking at Morley and signed an "equivalent", just who is that exactly?
In January, We've signed two centre backs, a winger, an attacking midfielder and a self proclaimed "box to box" midfielder.
We haven't signed a number 6 that will sit in front of the back 4 dictating play to my knowledge.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
The Trust got lucky (as we did) having Gareth Ainsworth at the helm. I am absolutely convinced that we would not have a League club now without him and consequently not had the years of Blooms. There is no way we could survive nowadays in Trust ownership.

Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Agreed about the part played by the Couhigs. But I think they would not have been able to finance the academy and team as it appears the new owners are.
ML etc bought the club because, as they said, it was run and had an ethos they were looking for, by buying us they did not have to start from scratch.
Do we accept this as their guiding motive? I agree that with MB they appeared to be playing hard ball, but no doubt he may well have responded a bit more accommodating and so still be here?
We don't know and will no doubt only find out as time goes on, but it seems obvious to me that we would not be able to make a successful attempt at being an established Championship club without the funds they are able to put into the club; as indeed our 1 year in that league demonstrates.
As a supporter since 1956 I quite like the idea of being an established Championship club!
